Our take

Digital networks have ushered in a transformative era for B2B SaaS companies, reshaping the landscape of product development. Notable platforms like Slack, LinkedIn, and Salesforce have paved the way for enhanced customer-company interactions, and Tradeshift has effectively extended this paradigm shift to cross-border supply chains.

Founded by a Danish duo with prior experience in the Danish National IT & Telecom Agency's e-invoice network, Tradeshift streamlines payment processes, facilitating trade, and organizing operations within retail, transportation, and manufacturing supply chains. Operating on a globally adopted cloud-based platform, Tradeshift navigated the turbulent waters of the 2010s and emerged as a late-stage startup, now boasting a valuation in the billions.

Tradeshift's fintech and cloud platform appear to have provided a long-awaited remedy for the longstanding challenges in cross-border trade. In 2018, the company secured investments from major players such as Goldman Sachs and American Express. Furthermore, in 2021, Tradeshift expanded its clientele into India and China and enhanced its suite of e-invoice and cross-border payment solutions.
